@vr-t8x15 I really like the LevelUp ecosystem in node.js. lots of cool talks around there. There's a lot of docs and blog posts around Cassandra and about CockroachDB. I have a chatroom on matrix where we focus on more decentralized database setups if you're into that. matrix.to/#/!XRUxDGvatxOpAbebJ

Why are big Instances bad for the Fediverse?

It's quite simple:
bigger instance -> more moderation work -> need for bigger team -> harder to find consensus within the moderation team -> less strict moderation

Also:
bigger instance -> more different ideologies among userbase -> harder for other instances to decide to block that instance / or greater impact on federation if big instances are blocked

Additionally small instances can't easily block big instances, because doing so would impact their own userbase a lot and drive even more people to large instances.

So big instances mean a lot more work for smaller instances, because they have to deal with much more individual bad actors instead of just FediBlocking them in bulk.

All Fediverse softwares should have a 2k limit for monthly active users, so all instances automatically temporarily close registrations when that limit is reached.

Hello, world!

We are FAFO, a non-profit semiconductor and analytical chemistry research lab in Munich.

We exist to bring together people and tools necessary to advance not the cutting edge of manufacturing, but the cutting edge of making bathtub semiconductors and other Weird Hacks in your local hackerspace.

We've just rented out our first location and brought in a gorgeous 1980s JEOL T330A SEM. Restoring it to working condition is our first project, and this is where we'll keep you posted.

OMG I really missed the Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Way easier to actually do stuff with them now that I've researched how they work a bit more

Been watching early seasons of spongebob lately. Still as goofy as I remember it

@necrophcodr Before EbdevourOS I was running ChimeraOS which is loosely based on SteamOS but I want a computer with full control not a toy just for gaming so I ended up moving on from it.

@necrophcodr It's been great as far as Linux goes. After I set up my custom key bindings for the controller it's been even better. I still haven't put the gyroscope or fingerprint reader to work, but I really just missed the key binds from when I daily drove a steam deck.

My setup is quite unorthodox though 😅

@necrophcodr I generally use my computer for work (programming) so I run a bare bones arch distro called EndevourOS with a minimal wayland desktop based on Niri

Finally set up my GPD for actually playing games. Been in a Sonic the Hedgehog mood lately

If anyone wants to donate etherium to me, I finally set up a wallet here: 0xC29a6b70A7B64D539375FF8608E19c64dc5B457A

@skryking Not yet, the diopters on the rokid max have been enough to adjust for my myopia but my astigmatism leaves one of the eyes just a bit blurry. Might get some after I adjust my perscription.

At least I had my computer attached to my belt like usual so I did most of the motions of getting it set up.

low key thinking of buying one of those compute pucks that Rokid and XREAL sell just to have something more slim to carry around.

@skryking Yeahh that makes sense. I've been wanting to upgrade my deck but I gotta save for vet bills.

Iirc the Rokid Max is a bit cheaper than the XREAL stuff out there. Less handy if you want existing apps for it. 😅

Had a dream I was at a small scale tech trade show and there was a booth with some AR googles I hadn't seen before that looked cool. Sadly I woke up before I could try them on 😭

@gsuberland I've been giving graphical tools a shot more lately and the massive waste of ram and CPU for something that'd take a dozen MBs on the cli makes me cry.

aside from pure CLI stuff, I can't remember the last time I used a computing device where things felt instant, or even just faster than my rate of interaction.

This might just shake things up

"Switzerland Now Requires All Government Software To Be Open Source"

Not trusting or relying on the Microsofts of the world anymore.

Sturmer believes everyone will benefit from this regulation, as it reduces vendor lock-in for the public sector, allows companies to expand their digital business solutions, and potentially leads to reduced IT costs and improved services for taxpayers.
